I find most of them look better, although I can't get over a few of the designs.

Sivir's face in the chinese version seems incredibly out of character, as an example.

People who are fans of anime art styles might agree that the champion panels look "cooler." Ultimately the in game design is the same.

To be entirely fair, "Anime art styles" is a bit of an over generalization, and isn't limited to the typical anime stereotypes. (giant eyes, obnoxiously weird hair, etc.)

While some of the chinese LoL artworks do look more "anime" than the others (just look at Taric's hair), most of them are actually probably 100x more epic than the current 3d-model-touched-up-in-photoshop look that most of the US versions seem to have.

OK Eastern art style.

They had some interesting creative spins on the champions I'll give them that, but I felt like I was gearing up to play a dungeon fighter style game rather than a dota style game looking at all the artwork panels :P Loli Annie being the prime example.
